Intech studio Grid Series 3 - EN16 Detent

The EN16 Detent – Grid Series 3 from Intech Studio is the ideal modular USB MIDI controller for those seeking uncompromising control precision. With its innovative features, this model is a must-have for musicians and producers looking to optimize their creative process.

Overview

The EN16 Detent is a modular USB MIDI controller featuring 16 endless incremental rotary encoders, each with an assignable push button function. The Detent version stands out with its 20 tactile clicks per rotation, providing pleasant physical feedback for precise fine-tuning.

Impressive flexibility for all your needs

The encoders on this controller can operate in different control modes, whether absolute or relative. This flexibility allows you to easily adapt them to a wide range of software, plug-ins, and MIDI equipment. In addition, each encoder can be configured separately for rotation and push-button functions, making it easy to create custom controls.

Smart buttons for optimal control

The built-in buttons can be used in momentary or toggle mode. The operating range and speed of each button and encoder are also adjustable, allowing for precise customization to meet the user’s needs.

Visual feedback and advanced connectivity

Each encoder is equipped with an individual RGB LED indicator, making it easy to identify assigned parameters and providing clear visual feedback during use. Thanks to the Grid system, you can combine the EN16 Detent with other Grid Series 3 controllers to create a customizable control surface.

Versatile Applications for Professional Use

The EN16 Detent adapts to various work environments, including:

• Music production: controlling synthesizers, plug-ins, effects, and virtual instruments
• Mixing: adjustments to panning, effect sends, EQ, and processing
• Sound design: simultaneous adjustment of multiple parameters
• Live performance: quick access to effects, macros, and MIDI parameters
